The Ukrainian crisis erupted after Yanukovych spurned a deal with the European Union and turned to Putin for help instead. Russian and Western officials have staked out sharply opposing positions on who is responsible for the violence in Ukraine — but it appears that all sides have started to recognize a danger in its continuing. Fierce fighting broke out in the capital early Thursday, shattering a truce declared hours earlier and leaving scores of people dead. A top human rights official said that at least 50 people were killed in the clashes that erupted Thursday morning in the streets around Kiev’s Independence Square. Other estimates of the death toll were considerably higher. washingtonpost/world/despite-truce-some-fighting-reported-in-kiev/2014/02/20/71b5025e-99bd-11e3-b88d-f36c07223d88_print.html
